Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of bearing testing, and in particular to a low-temperature medium simulation test device for aerospace turbopump bearings. Background Art
[0002] The turbopump is the heart of the rocket engine, and the turbopump bearing is the key to the long-term stable operation of the turbopump. The turbopump bearing serves in an ultra-low temperature environment and withstands high-speed and heavy-load conditions. The low-temperature bearing test is an important means to evaluate the performance of bearings in low-temperature environments. It mainly involves tests on the operating stability, friction characteristics, load-bearing capacity and life of bearings under low-temperature conditions. The main purpose is to assess the performance of bearings when loaded and running at high speed in a low-temperature environment, to understand the usage boundaries of the bearings, and to ensure their reliability and durability under specific low-temperature conditions. The existing low-temperature bearing test equipment still has many shortcomings.
[0003] On the one hand, in order to simulate the actual working conditions of low-temperature bearings, the existing technology uses liquid nitrogen as a low-temperature medium for bearing tests, and liquid nitrogen is passed into the entire test cavity for testing; the traditional liquid nitrogen full-area cooling method requires the test tooling to use low-temperature materials (such as bearings and seals) as a whole, which is complex and costly to process, and significantly increases the cost compared to conventional tests; on the other hand, the existing low-temperature test device has an unreasonable design of the cooling medium flow path in the low-temperature cavity, resulting in a large consumption of low-temperature medium, and lacks effective cooling measures for the inner ring of the bearing. When the bearing is in high-speed working conditions, insufficient cooling of the inner ring can easily lead to a temperature increase, causing faults such as burns on the inner ring of the bearing; furthermore, during low-temperature testing, the accuracy of the axial loading force will be affected by many factors such as the temperature and pressure in the cavity, thereby affecting the stability and accuracy of the test.
[0004] In the existing technology, there is a practice of dividing the test chamber into a low-temperature test chamber and a normal-temperature test chamber. The test bearing is in the low-temperature chamber, and the process bearing is in the normal-temperature chamber. This can reduce the test cost and improve the test efficiency to a certain extent. However, the design of the low-temperature cooling chamber in the existing patent is relatively simple, and still does not take into account the cooling problem of the bearing inner ring. The cooling efficiency is relatively low, and it does not consider solving the accuracy problem of the axial loading force. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Furthermore, the axial liquid inlet is a spiral auxiliary liquid inlet, which is formed by setting an inner hole in the middle of the test bearing inner ring pressure cover and setting a spiral groove on the wall of the inner hole.

[0025] like Figure 1 and 5 As shown, the left end of the test chamber housing 16 is provided with a left housing end cover 20, and the axial loading piston 24 is installed on the left housing end cover 20 through an axial piston mounting seat 23. The axial piston mounting seat 23 is located on the outside of the left housing end cover 20. Two sealing rings are provided between the axial loading piston 24 and the left housing end cover 20. An axial piston sealing ring baffle 22 is provided on the inner side of the left housing end cover 20. The right side of the axial loading piston 24 presses against the axial loading pressure cover 27. The axial loading piston 24 is provided with a baffle ring 241. The baffle ring 241 divides the interior of the axial piston mounting seat 23 into two chambers, left and right. A preload spring 25 is provided in the left chamber and a compensation air inlet 242 is opened. An air outlet 243 is provided on the right chamber. The preload spring 25 provides a certain axial thrust for the piston rod. When axial loading is performed, air can also be inflated into the left chamber through the compensation air inlet 242 to compensate for the reverse thrust of the liquid nitrogen pressure in the low-temperature test chamber on the axial loading piston 24, thereby improving the accuracy of the axial loading force of the test bearing 29 and improving the test stability.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the test bearing 29 is arranged in the test chamber shell 16 through the test bearing seat 17. The left and right ends of the test bearing seat 17 are respectively provided with a bearing seat left pressure cover 18 and a bearing seat right pressure cover 15. The bearing seat left pressure cover 18 and the bearing seat right pressure cover 15 are respectively connected to the test chamber shell 16 by screws, thereby fixing the test bearing seat 17 on the test chamber shell 16. The axial loading pressure cover 27 is located in the test bearing seat 17. The right end of the axial loading pressure cover 27 contacts the outer ring of the test bearing 29 for transmitting axial loading force. An axial guide linear bearing 28 is provided between the axial loading pressure cover 27 and the test bearing seat 17.
[0027] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the axial guide linear bearing 28 includes balls 281 and ball retainers 282. The balls 281 are distributed along the axial direction. The ball retainers 282 are used to distribute and limit the balls 281. The axial loading cover 27 and the test bearing seat 17 are provided with corresponding ball grooves 283. The balls 281 are installed and retained in the ball grooves 283 through the ball retainers 282, which can guide the axial loading and prevent the axial loading cover 27 from rotating during operation. At the same time, it also avoids the outer ring of the test bearing 29 from rotating. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, a total of eight axial guide linear bearings 28 are designed between the axial loading cover 27 and the test bearing seat 17 , and the eight axial guide linear bearings 28 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.
[0028] Furthermore, the inner side surface of the test bearing seat 17 and the outer side surface of the axial loading cover 27 are designed to be parallel to each other. The cone surface is larger on the left and smaller on the right. The specific cone surface angle is set according to actual needs to prevent unbalanced loading or jamming caused by uneven temperature of the bearing seat; in this embodiment, the cone surface angle is 1°. Specifically, during the test, due to the high-speed rotation of the test bearing 29, the temperature rises, and the temperature of the test bearing seat 17 on the side close to the test bearing 29 is higher than the temperature on the axial loading side, which makes the test bearing seat 17 and the axial loading cover 27 shrink at different locations along the axial direction. If it is a conventional cylindrical surface design, the shrinkage of the inner hole of the test bearing seat 17 is different at different locations along the axial direction, and the shrinkage is larger on the side close to the axial loading piston 24, and smaller on the side close to the test bearing 29, which will cause the axial loading cover 27 to tilt, and ultimately lead to axial load eccentricity. After the present invention designs the mating surfaces of the two as conical surfaces, it can compensate for the different shrinkages on the left and right sides of the axial loading cover 27, so that within the normal temperature difference range of the test chamber, the axial loading cover 27 and the center line of the shaft can maintain good coaxiality to avoid the occurrence of eccentricity.
[0029] In addition, if Figure 4As shown, a plurality of rectangular grooves 284 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the end face where the axial loading cover 27 contacts the outer ring of the test bearing 29. During the loading process, the presence of the rectangular grooves 284 can increase the friction between the axial loading cover 27 and the outer ring of the test bearing 29, thereby preventing the outer ring of the bearing from rotating and causing a running ring failure.
[0030] As shown in Figure 1, in the low-temperature test chamber, the test bearing seat 17 divides the interior of the low-temperature test chamber into a left test chamber and a right test chamber, and a sealing ring mounting seat 21 is provided between the left side pressure cover 18 of the bearing seat and the left side shell end cover 20. The sealing ring mounting seat 21 divides the left side test chamber into a liquid inlet space and a liquid outlet space; specifically, the left side of the sealing ring mounting seat 21 is connected to the left side shell end cover 20 by screws, and the right side is sealed with the left side pressure cover 18 of the bearing seat by a sealing ring. The middle part of the sealing ring mounting seat 21 is opened, and the axial loading piston 24 passes through the opening and rests on the axial loading cover 27. The liquid outlet 26 is provided on the left shell end cover 20 and is communicated with the liquid outlet space inside the sealing ring mounting seat 21. The liquid inlet 19 is provided on the left end face of the test chamber shell 16 and is communicated with the liquid inlet space outside the sealing ring mounting seat 21. The sealing ring mounting seat 21 divides the liquid inlet 19 and the liquid outlet 26 into different areas, so that the cooling medium entering the liquid inlet 19 will not flow directly to the liquid outlet 26, but will flow out from the liquid outlet 26 after cooling flow and circulation in the test chamber.
[0031] There are multiple liquid inlets 19 and liquid outlets 26, which are evenly distributed along the circumference. The circumference of the liquid outlet 26 is located inside the circumference of the liquid inlet 19. In a specific embodiment, there are three liquid inlets 19 and three liquid outlets 26.
[0032] The test chamber shell 16 adopts a thick-walled shell and is provided with multiple groups of horizontal and vertical cross flow channels on the shell. The cooling medium flows in the flow channels, which can reduce the temperature of the test chamber shell 16. In addition, the thick-walled design can form a good insulation effect for the entire test chamber. The flow channels on the test chamber shell 16 correspond to the liquid inlet 19, and three groups are provided.
[0033] The flow channel on the test chamber shell 16 connects the left test chamber and the right test chamber. At the same time, the test bearing seat 17 is provided with a plurality of flow channel holes extending in the axial direction. The left pressure cover 18 of the bearing seat and the right pressure cover 15 of the bearing seat are also provided with corresponding through holes. The cooling medium enters the left test chamber from the liquid inlet 19. A part of it enters the right test chamber after passing through the flow channel on the test chamber shell 16, which can cool the test chamber shell 16 and ensure the overall low temperature environment inside the shell. The other part enters the right test chamber through the flow channel hole on the test bearing seat 17, which can realize the cooling of the test bearing seat 17 and the outer ring of the test bearing 29. The cooling medium in the right test chamber enters the internal space of the axial loading pressure cover 27 through the test bearing 29, so that the test bearing 29 located inside the axial loading pressure cover 27 is completely immersed in the low-temperature medium. A through hole is provided on the left end face of the axial loading pressure cover 27. The cooling medium passes through the through holes on the axial loading pressure cover 27 and the sealing ring mounting seat 21, enters the sealing ring mounting seat 21, and finally flows out from the liquid outlet 26, realizing a large circulation of the cooling medium in the test chamber.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, further, in order to improve the cooling effect at the axis, the present invention is provided with an axis liquid inlet channel 32 and an axis liquid outlet nozzle 33 at the left end of the test spindle 30, which facilitates the cooling medium to enter the axis to cool the inner ring of the test bearing 29. The axis liquid inlet channel 32 is a blind hole provided at the axis of the left end of the test spindle 30, and the axis liquid outlet nozzle 33 is located on the right side of the test bearing 29. The axis liquid outlet nozzle 33 extends along the radial direction of the test spindle 30, one end of which is connected to the axis liquid inlet channel 32, and the other end of which is connected to the right test cavity on the right side of the test bearing 29. In order to improve the fluidity of the cooling medium, a shaft is provided in the middle of the test bearing inner ring pressure cover 31. The spiral auxiliary liquid inlet 34 connected to the liquid inlet channel 32 is formed by setting an inner hole on the test bearing inner ring cover 31 and setting a spiral groove on the inner hole wall. The spiral auxiliary liquid inlet 34 plays a drainage role during the test process, and can drive the cooling medium to enter the axial liquid inlet channel 32 in a flowing state, thereby improving the fluidity of the cooling medium. The cooling medium entering the axial liquid inlet channel 32 flows out from the axial liquid outlet nozzle 33 to the right test cavity on the right side of the test bearing 29, forming a small circulation at the inner ring of the test bearing 29, effectively reducing the temperature of the inner ring of the bearing, and preventing the inner ring of the bearing from burning due to insufficient cooling capacity under high-speed working conditions.
[0035] The test device designed in the present invention has a cooling medium with strong fluidity and high utilization efficiency in the test chamber. The thick-wall design and flow channel design of the test chamber shell 16 improve the thermal insulation effect and ensure the low temperature environment of the entire test chamber. The design of the flow channel holes on the test bearing seat 17 and the axial flow channel holes on the test spindle 30 enables the cooling medium to effectively cool the outer ring and inner ring of the test bearing 29. The cooling medium forms a large circulation and a small circulation in the test chamber with high cooling efficiency, which can achieve a sufficient cooling effect and ensure the safety of the test under high-speed rotation. At the same time, the utilization rate of the cooling medium is improved and the consumption of the cooling medium is reduced.
[0036] The test chamber housing 16 of the present invention and the accompanying test chamber housing 04 are sealed and isolated by a sealing assembly, which includes a central sealing baffle 13, a sealing carbon ring 14, and an airtight sealing cover 12. The accompanying test chamber housing 04 and the test chamber housing 16 are connected by screws. The central sealing baffle 13 is fixed to the right end of the test chamber housing 16 by screws and a sealing ring is installed on the contact surface between the two. The central sealing baffle 13 is located between the test chamber housing 16 and the accompanying test chamber housing 04, which can separate the test chamber housing 16 and the accompanying test chamber housing. 04 is isolated from the cavity inside, and an inner hole is provided on the middle sealing baffle 13. A plurality of sealing carbon rings 14 are installed between the inner hole of the middle sealing baffle 13 and the outer diameter of the test spindle 30. The airtight sealing cover 12 is located in the test cavity shell 04 and is installed on the test spindle 30 on the left side of the test bearing. The airtight sealing cover 12 can pass compressed air to form an air film at the gap to seal the gap on the test spindle 30, thereby achieving a sealing effect and preventing the media in the cavities on both sides from communicating with each other. The sealing component used in the present invention has a simple structure and a good sealing effect.
